A couple of points that I believe to be worth mentioning, Now yes, I am a business builder with TTN and am happy to be a part of it. Though I am happy with my business so far I am not at all a TOP EARNER…YET but that is my goal…and I fully believe that I have the same opportunity as anyone else in this company to achieve great success. Will some do it faster…of course? As with any business, including traditional (brick and mortar) businesses not everyone will “grow” at the same pace. Remember the saying “location, location, location when referring to traditional business?… well in this business it’s more like “connection, connection, connection” so with that if someone is a “seasoned network marketer” or has a long list of contacts through another business well then YES they will probably earn more than someone like myself (the average person joining) BUT that doesn’t mean I can’t be successful I might just have to put in a little more effort and be willing to “think outside the box” in order to build it.

Regarding the $497 Fast Start – This price includes a ton of products (vitamins, and the nutritionally calibrated snacks, 3 months of a personalized website, 20 CD/DVD’s for marketing materials, the normal info packet with a welcome letter from DJT and also a CD explaining our products by Dr. Ruth Clark. From my perspective these items are of great value in order for me to pursue my business. I mean unless you feel comfortable offering something to people without trying it out for yourself. With 20+ years in Sales, I can “smell” when someone is “selling” or honestly being a product of the product and sharing. Not to mention for $497 quite a steal really to be in business with DJT/Ideal Health… in an industry that is growing at unprecedented rates, even during this recession. Not only do you get all that but you then qualify to receive FRONT END BONUSES… by this you can earn that initial investment back very quickly. Anyone who has been in MLM or NM or even a small business owner knows that the first months (or years) can be rough.. so it’s DJT..he’d better have a great compensation plan or he wouldn’t be doing this the way he normally does things BIG!

The last thing for me I felt was worth giving mention too is the meeting cost. You are right to say that many MLM’s have this tactic..get people in and then ask them to spend more.. a BIG turn off for me personally!! But, please allow me to explain why this is done. Not everyone needs inspiration or training.. but some do (many Fortune 500 companies spend thousands per year sending folks to training like Kaisan, Kanban etc.) but in this business we are all OWNERS so if we choose to attend a meeting/training/presentation that is being offered by your business partner that’s great because this will grow MY business (and my upline’s). In traditional business the cost would fall upon the business owner, which would then pass the cost on to customers in price increases.. see how it all works. Let’s say you/I were trying to build a business in this way and your “partners or downline” wanted to bring 20 people to a meeting in your home/office.. shoot now we need to have coffee, snacks, maybe even a guest speaker.. see the expense? So for $5 – $10 charge to current business partners “we are all contributing” to the growth of our business together. I hope you follow me because this really isn’t a bad idea as long as it’s done with honesty and integrity and not trying to rip someone off. There are those types out there..so be careful who you go into business with MLM or not.

This is a great opportunity (for some.. not all) so please do your own due-diligence and at least look at it with unbiased eyes. I would be happy to answer any questions at anytime.

Thank you for creating conversation by your posting.

Have a great day,

My roomate and I have Suddenlink TV/Internet here in White Oak, Texas. We are currently paying for the 10mb service… but most of the time we only get 1/4 of what we are paying for. I have no problems with the channels. But the internet speeds are hit and miss. I have been on Speedtest.net and my tests are from .98mb-4.5mb. Clearly less than half of what i am paying for. The local Suddenlink location is located in Gladewater, Texas. I have talked to tech support and had tech come out before at my previous address… having the same issues of course, but no resolution. This not only happens during peak hours but late at night/early morning when traffic is low. I hope to hear from you on regards to this matter. I have been a loyal customer since this company was Cox Comm.
